president elect trumps a pick to head the fbi longtime ally could garner some pushback from democrats during his confirmation hearings. good evening i am jon scott and this is the fox report. ♪ a lot of eyes are also on the agency's current head christopher wray, who will either need to voluntarily resign or get fired. mark meredith is alive from west palm beach florida. hohooked on top of that eveningo president trump too picked to run the fbi' strong reaction got republicans saying this is somebody who could reform the fbi while others argue from democrats perspective this is somebody who could dramatically create problems in washington and be on. now trent eight is a former public offender. he served as a staffer on the house intelligence committee in

addition to that during trumps first term served as chief of staff at the department of defense. his call for dramatically reducing the fbi footprint limiting its authority that's been widely abused. tonight some republicans are cheering on his efforts. >> i think he does have relevant experience particulate comes amended the american public has signed up during the agencies around completely corrupted. kash has pointed out he is probably the best at uncovering what's happening at the fbi look forward to him seeing him taking apart. >> the mpi role require senate e confirmation from other republicans they democrats say they are ready to challenge this pic. senator dick durbin tour of the judiciary writing president-elect must replace his own appointee with an unqualified loyalist. the senate should reject this unprecedented effort to reject the fbi campaign retribution trump has promised. this week the focus will be on

current fbi director christopher white we hear word to be fired once trump gets to washington rate was nominated to its bus by then it president trump back in 2017. you will member after james comey was abruptly fired, the fbi sent out a statement late saturday send directors raise a focus men and women of the fbi the people who we do the work with the people we do the work for. we expect to see additional pushback from lawmakers on the hill as they learn more about trent eight and number of republicans run to his rescue saying he's got a good shot. for the most part spent away from the cameras he was at his golf club again today. he also made a pick to help with mid east affairs choosing a lebanese american businessman who is also the father-in-law of trump's daughter tiffany. jon: mark meredith thank you. for more on the discussion over president elect trumps pick of kash patel let's bring it south carolina director he is a house

of the judiciary oversight committees also sits on the subcommittee on the weaponization of government. you probably heard the statement from dick durbin where he accuses president trump and kash patel of trying to weaponize the fbi. your response to that, sir? exits a total farce to hear that from the senator. for years, all the way back to 2016 we have seen the fbi abuse its authority with pfizer, spy on american citizens we have seen them label catholics as extremists, as parents who want to be involved in their child's education as domestic terrors. in the spying on president trump to boot. i think hezbollah is qualified in his resume and purpose in cleaning up and reform in the fbi and restoring it to its missioility, which is integrity and bravery that is their motto. jon: typically in fbi director gets a 10 year term.

the idea he or she is supposed to be independent of the president who appoints them. christopher wray was appointed by then president trump. so why replace him now? >> it is important certainly christopher wray has served his term as fbi director. the president certainly entitled to either remove or ask for the resignation of director rate. quite frankly he is honored with the american people expect which is to clean up the most important law enforcement agency that we have in this country and restore it to its original purpose. i think that is what cash wants to do and i certainly think that is it president trump promise when he was running for president again. jon: i have interviewed kash patel on-air he's a smart guy but are not a lot of boots on the ground investigated experience. why kash patel to have the fbi? what sees golf in his own i

basement in both the public defender and prosecute he certainly served in the house of representatives or the intelligence committee pay was a chief of staff of the secretary of defense. he's got a wide range of experience that will lend it to this pre-chief among those is the purpose what is the purpose of appointing him to that post? the purpose is to clean up the update reform and restore it to its original, what we see as the top law enforcement agency in the country. jon: there is some support from james comer who was on fox earlier today. he is a member of the house oversight committee, he is a chair actually consents. listen to james comer. >> a lot of bureaucrats are about to lose her job in 2025? >> i hope so. we're going to do everything we can work want to start by making them come back to work. remember there still offer covid majority of federal employees in

washington d.c. are not going into work more than one day a week because of covid. this ridiculousness needs to stop. it's going to stop. and i think doge is going to focus on so many different areas in addition to rules and regulation but also the bureaucrats we have too many fat cap bureaucrats on the government payroll that provide no benefit to the american taxpayers. so sick he was specifically talketalkabout the department of government efficiency that elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are supposed to be taking on. what you think about that? can they get the job done? in government become more efficient? >> i think so. that's honestly one of the biggest things that was really untold in this campaign of republicans were to win is to get into the meat of the matter mmixer the people who serve our country are doing that as a civil servant not putting their finger on the political scales.

that they are hard-working. there's a lot of government bureaucrats quite frankly that don't do anything. they push paper and collect a government paycheck. it is time to restore a little bit of sanity in washington d.c. it's the only town in america we can be so bad at your job to get hired to get a promotion. we've got to reverse that course our nations capitol. jon: what this slams against kash patel he is a trump loyalist as the president would pick someone who is not loyal to do a job. here is the take from rolling stone magazine they write, why kash patel may be trumps serious pick yet. patel is wise most loyal enforcers of conspiracy theoriey theories the 2020 election denier was to purge the so called deep state. do you have a problem with that headline? >> i do but i'm not surprised coming from rolling stone.

here, the problem with this is they call this conspiracy theories but they are proven to be true. there spying on the presidential campaign was absolute true. when whistleblowers come forward for the last two years repeatedly talked about the abuses of the fbi. time to clean house and i think kash patel is uniquely qualified with his background and his mission to do so. jon: all right, it will be interesting to see what happens. president trump -- president-elect trump already has hit the ground running with the second administration. we'll see what happens. south carolina congressman russell fry thank you. more than 2 million people remain under lake effect snow warnings in the state of emergency is in effect for 11 counties in upstate new york. meanwhile orchard park, new york is digging out ahead of the nfl matchup between the buffalo

well they were not able to certify with him. he has been having caretakers he has been working or anything like that. he has not been certified for the past two and half years he has been sitting in an account been taken out on walks and stuff like that but he has not worked. jon: so it sounds like he kind of went into a funk after you left and was not able to do his job. >> one 100%, sir. jon: wow. tell us about some of things you did in iraq. what was his specialty? >> he was certified on being able to detect military grade explosives. some of our duties were pcp at the patrol point so any vehicle that come through it would go d search the vehicle for every vehicle that comes to within the shifts were working. and then what i when i worked te morning shift we would work outside of a post a little bit

and then go were all the vehicles coming through during the day we would search the lot and all the vehicles within that as well. while still in the army he is retired. what does he do now? >> is just a couch potato now he comes to work with me some days when i don't to teach the team. he'd sit in the office with me and be right on my hip. jon: he seems like a very happy dog now, would you say? >> yes he is very happy. ias a very happy boy. he has enjoyed it so far and been lazy. >> that reunion looks like a great moment for both of you. >> it was wonderful, sir for a very appreciative of american humane for getting him to me. he meant the world to me he really did. jon: i know you work with the american humane society to get reunited with that great dog of yours.
